Jake D Marshall Novels & Stories

"Sure." "I'll see you later." Jack hung up, already feeling better. That was how he liked his women, nice and easy. He never enjoyed breaking a sweat over what could be settled so easily. He was going to more than have drinks with Jess, even she had to know that. That was something to look forward to, he thought as he went back to work. He didn't feel like he was losing touch anymore, there were still women who would give anything to be with him. Lisa just needed to see that. He frowned as she crossed his mind again, what was it about her? If Jess turned out to be a viable option, maybe he would just marry her and get it over with. She was still a woman, she was as good as any woman includin

The next week or so I didn’t see Desmond. Marcus said he was busy with Alpha James and was rarely in the territory anymore. It made it easier to go back to avoiding him that way. Liam and Nat had started coming over more to my cabin. I was mid replacing the walls nearing the end of my project. Nat would toss her phone away and blast music in the house while I worked, the both of us singing at a ridiculous volume. Not always on key. She would complain about her cheerleading groupies and it made me laugh. Getting a taste of how much work it really was to stay popular.

This is despite the fact that he urged me to do so. Regarding Rivard Escallions, I believe that I have come across that name before, or I may have just seen it. What truly stood out to me about Jake was the tattoo that he has on the back of his neck. I immediately recognized the design.

“Arianna is an only child, you have the wrong woman.” “I am Theodore Der Mandant,” he said, looking at Viktor who tensed. The man’s family was well known, and we knew that killing him would end up getting us in trouble. It wasn’t just about him being a messenger right now, it was about who HE was. “I do not make mistakes, and judging by your fumbled expression, I take it that you are well aware who I am, Alpha Dean.”

“Oh, right. I know she is an Omega, and I can understand why you must be protective of her, but I care about her. And I know I can treat her right.” “Are you in the university?” Declan asks. “No, I, uh… Well I was…” Jake’s fingers dance nervously on the back of his notecards. “I dropped out.” “What do you do for work, then?” Hugh asks. “I work in my dad’s garage. He fixes cars.” “Are you a mechanic?” Wes asks. “Uh… no. I answer the phones,” Jake replies. He lowers his head, embarrassed. “You want to father Ollie’s children,” Declan says and I cringe hearing it aloud again. “How do you expect to support them longterm?”

He just sipped his whiskey and my heart pounded for what was to happen. "It's time for the red carpet" someone announced distracting us and just to avoid these two. On getting to the red carpet, the flashbulbs exploded and reported were shouting names. Jake walked between us. On his right was Maya clinging to his arm, laughing at something he whispered. On his left was me, his wife. One foot behind, like an afterthought. “Mr. Henderson! Who’s the woman?” A reporter if I'm not mistaken asked. Jake turned, all teeth and charm. “This is my wife, Jolene. And this is my... associate, Maya Carter. She’s consulting on Apex’s new wellness line.”

Jake asked, interrupting Lily’s thoughts. "Nothing," Lily quickly recovered and faked a smile. She drank her wine and poured more, gulping down three glasses in a row. "Woah." Jake laughed. He said, "Are you sure everything is okay, Lily?" Nodding her head, Lily answered, "Yes. I'm just pressured with work." Jake was an heir to a known construction company in Braeton, the Bass Power Construction. He was currently the Marketing Director. Lily met him through her brother, Liam.

I said, maintaining my business smile. “Okay Mrs. McCall, if that is how you want it, who am I to reject?” Jake said with a playfully wink. But his face instantly became serious which greatly surprised me. I guess like his friend, Charles, knew how to switch emotions when it was time for business. “I guess you are unfamiliar with my face but I will introduce myself and my business here properly, I am Jake Mickelson, CEO of Mickelson industries limited and we are looking forward to expanding our business which we have included Florida in our investment portfolio,” he said.

Whiskey splashed into the glass, amber catching the light as I swirled it once, slow and thoughtful. “Talk,” I said, bringing the glass to my lips. “You were right,” Harry said. “Marcus keeps his enemies close and his friends closer. Dug deep into his personal circle. Found someone interesting.” I took a sip. The burn grounded me. “Go on.” “Joshua Jake,” Harry continued. “Goes by Double J. Millionaire. Old money mixed with dirty money. They’ve been close for years. Business, vacations, cover ups. If Marcus trusts anyone, it’s him.”

Alex scoffed in disbelief. "It's really unbelievable, Your Highness. By the way, guess who I met today," Jake said to Alex. "Who did you meet, Jake? You know very well that I'm not good at guessing," Alex said to Jake. "Well, it's no one else than Dave, Mara's baby daddy, and to think that the fool was playing nice with me, only if he knew how much I wanted to strangle him with my very own hands, but then I remembered that it wasn't my job, but someone else's, so I decided to keep my calm and keep on playing the dumb guy," Jake said to Alex.
